On the shore was standing a middle-aged man wearing a dark gold double-patterned robe, a crane-topped jade hat, and a royal dragon-patterned jade pendant on his waist.

Nangong Yu knew that the person in front of him was by no means simple, and it was not difficult to see from this person's momentum that this must be a big man, and it was also the first unprecedented big man he had encountered in the true sense of the word since he came to the rivers and lakes.

"May I ask who you are?" Nangong Yu could clearly sense that the cultivator of the arrival was at least above the king level.

The middle-aged man did not answer Nangong Yu's question immediately, but immediately waved his right hand after seeing Nangong Yu's injury, and a stream of pure spirit yuan drilled into Nangong Yu's body to protect his broken meridians, and suddenly Nangong Yu's miserable face recovered a trace of blood.

"I'm Wang Le'er's father~" The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Yu and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the spirit yuan in Nangong Yu's body immediately began to move frantically, as if he was ready to make a move at any time.

"You don't have to be nervous" The middle-aged man's right hand waved slightly, and what made Nangong Yu frightened was that with the man's right hand with a slight wave, the only remaining spirit yuan in his body couldn't move.

"Relax, young man, if I had tried to kill you, you and this little girl would have died several times," the middle-aged man said.

"Then I don't know what the seniors are going to do, if it's about Miss Le'er, I can only say I'm sorry" Nangong Yu put Li Yimeng down gently, clenched his fists and said, "If the seniors want to avenge their daughter, then I am willing to resist all the guilt, please don't be angry with this girl in my arms."

Nangong Yu stood silently in front of the man, and the two of them were suddenly silent for a few seconds.

"Hehe, you're very similar to your father," the middle-aged man finally showed a smile on his face.

"The seniors know my father," Nangong Yu asked.

"Of course, your father and I are old acquaintances, and your Nangong family is one of the few families in the hidden family that has not forgotten its original intention, I admire your family" The middle-aged man did not hide it, but directly said his opinion.

"The predecessors actually knew the affairs of the hidden family" When his father was young, he had a few friends outside, and Nangong Yu didn't feel strange, but not many people knew about the affairs of the hidden family, and people only knew that there were a few very powerful families who were jointly managing the world, but they didn't know the relationship between the several families and all the details of each.

"You don't have to be surprised, you will know in the future that this world is more complicated than you imagined, although your hidden family is called the manager of the human world, the supreme existence of the human world, but because your arrogance has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, so secretly there are already many big organizations that are determined to surpass you to ban you, and now there is an organization that has far surpassed you," the middle-aged man said.

"The predecessor is right, but this organization," Nangong Yu took out the dagger that Wang Le'er gave him.

"Yes, yes, it's them" The moment he saw the dagger, the middle-aged man was no longer calm, his eyes became red, the fingers of his right hand hooked, and the dagger immediately ran into his hand, "It's them, they killed my daughter."

The middle-aged man pulled out the dagger, the blade pointing at the sky.

"I swear that I will not get rid of the dark pavilion in this life, I swear not to be a human being" The middle-aged man shouted loudly, this sound was as strong as the waves of the sea, and the sky seemed to respond to him, and a huge thunder exploded in the sky.

Nangong Yu silently wrote down the name on the side.

"Do you know about your daughter?" Nangong Yu asked after seeing that the middle-aged man had calmed down.

"As a father, if I don't even know what happened to my daughter, then I won't be a father in vain," the middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

"Then why don't you stop her, don't you know that she is out of control" Nangong Yu looked at the man in front of him, he didn't believe that the person in front of him was the one who allowed Wang Le'er to commit crimes.

"Do you think it's useful for me to stop her, her heart has already been wrapped in hatred, and I tried to wake her up but to no avail," the middle-aged man said helplessly.

"Then you just let her go" At this time, Nangong Yu had already forgotten what level of suppression, and he looked at the middle-aged man with a critical eye.

"That's her way, I have no right to interfere" The middle-aged man said helplessly, his voice was full of guilt and self-blame~

Then, he looked at Nangong Yu cautiously like a junior.

"Is she happy when she leaves?" suddenly the man asked Nangong Yu.

"Hmm," Nangong Yu remembered Wang Le'er's smile when the entrance to the cave collapsed, "She seemed to be relieved."

"That's good" The middle-aged man returned the dagger to Nangong Yu.

"Don't you want it, this is her only relic" Nangong Yu looked at the middle-aged man.

"No, she gave it to you," said the middle-aged man, "if I hadn't sensed that you had this thing on you, I would have killed you the moment you came out of the water."

So that's the case, Nangong Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, if it weren't for the relationship between the daggers, he and Li Yimeng would probably have been buried here.

"Seniors are not afraid, I saluted the corpse after killing your daughter," Nangong Yu said.

"No," the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Although this is a dark pavilion thing, I have also studied it, if it is not for the master's consent, then this dagger will immediately shatter the moment it leaves the master, this is because the dagger will sign something similar to a soul contract with the master when it recognizes the master."

"So powerful" Nangong Yu looked at the thing in his hand.

"And this thing has one of the most important functions, which is to exercise the soul, and to be honest, this function makes the old man very red," the middle-aged man said.

"Exercise the soul?" Nangong Yu exclaimed, you must know that the most important thing for people in addition to the spirit element is the soul, and the improvement of the strength of the soul can bring many benefits, such as not having to think about the problem of going crazy and bottlenecks when improving cultivation, and not having to be afraid of problems such as unstable foundation caused by improving too quickly.

However, apart from those medicinal herbs that were known as the treasures of heaven and earth, he had never heard of weapons that could exercise the soul.

"You don't have to be surprised, there are actually artifacts in this world that can increase the strength of the soul" As if seeing Nangong Yu's suspicions, the middle-aged man said, "The Netherworld Bronze Mirror among the six major artifacts can improve soul cultivation."

"Then this dagger," Nangong Yu asked.

"This dagger is obviously made in imitation of the Netherworld Bronze Mirror, although the effect is not as good as Yicheng, but it is also the only thing in the world other than the Netherworld Bronze Mirror that can improve the cultivation of the soul," the middle-aged man said.

"But I've heard Le'er say that this is something used to prove identity in her organization, and everyone will have such a small dagger," Nangong Yu said.

"So, I've always suspected that the Netherworld Bronze Mirror, which has disappeared for hundreds of years, is in the hands of this mysterious Dark Pavilion, even if it's not in their hands, one of them must have seen the Netherworld Bronze Mirror with their own eyes, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make such a dagger," the middle-aged man said solemnly, his face full of heaviness, which showed how powerful his opponent would be.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you can leave with this little girl quickly," the middle-aged man said with a wave of his hand.

"Don't you blame me for forcing your daughter to death," Nangong Yu said.

"No, don't blame, I want to thank you," the middle-aged man said.

"Why?".

"Because you ended that 'her', let her wake up, let her be the real her before she died, and let her be liberated" The middle-aged man said cautiously, "As her father, I owe you a favor."

"And this lotus pond is her favorite place, and it is her wish to die here."

The middle-aged man bowed to Nangong Yu with both hands and thanked him, as a master who was several levels higher than Nangong Yu, he would never have made such a big gift to a person who only had husband-level cultivation and was like a little ant to him, but now he did it, because at this moment he was not only a master, but also a father.

"I owe you a favor, and I will pay you back in the future" The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Yu with a serious face, as if his words were unquestionable.

"Hmm" Nangong Yu was not pretentious, and jumped outside the mansion with the unconscious Li Yimeng in his arms, and disappeared into the night.

The middle-aged man stood quietly in place, glanced at the direction in which Nangong Yu disappeared, and then looked at the lotus pond and said lightly

"The little guy of the Nangong family, we will meet again."
